The project addresses the social
intervention of the central area and meeting the Stadium Club Casablanca in
Zaragoza. A
social and sports club that currently has some 25,000 members. It is situated
on the southern edge of the city along the Imperial Canal of Aragon and into
the natural surroundings of the Pinewood of Venice.
On the one
hand, we propose the adaptation and reform of existing buildings containing the
restoration of downtown areas to be allocated to new areas for customs and
social activities.
On the other
hand, projects a new building for the new coffee bar facilities, restaurant and
new sports club offices. The previous state of a central plaza, a place of life,
relationship and residence of the partner, framed by existing buildings, and
open to the landscape in an elevated position above the rest of the facilities
and with a height of four feet, the basis and justification the solution to
extend the horizontal plane of the square towards the edge of the track.
This new
platform provides opportunities at both the bottom to accommodate new uses:
athletic offices, press rooms, multipurpose spaces ... and the higher level,
allowing the other side, meet and organize trips and pedestrian access to the
different levels available. On this
platform and making the conditions of orientation and views, raise the main
volume of the new restaurant, to address the need for an open space for four
guests. Conceived allowing a direct relationship with the surrounding nature,
by entering inside. The light controlled by large structural ribs wavy facades
that are oriented to the forest of pines, the suspended ceiling and bending
wood, and cracked skylights, creating an atmosphere that blurs the boundaries
of interior and exterior space.
The idea to equip
an entire organization and drive us to make a transformation to absorb the
existing buildings with effective and sustainable solutions that respond to new
applications resulting in new situations that promote the integration of
existing space, the Plaza.
